I am new to Jenkins / Hudson and trying to migrate a C based project from buildbot. For outdated reasons, the build system is hard-coded to build outside the version tree (git), in one directory above, in a separate directory. For instance:.
workspace .git foo bar build artifacts
In addition to completing the creation of a directory outside the workspace, Jenkins will not recognize elements in the build / directory above to archive as artifacts.
How can I get this build system to work with Hudson? Creating a source tree is not a short-term option. The only option I found is "using a custom workspace", but all this makes it hard code for the workspace directory in another directory.
source share
